Michael Jackson - Billie Jean

Originally titled 'Not My Lover' (to avoid any confusion with the tennis player, Billie Jean King), and inspired by obsessive young women who accused Michael and his brothers of fathering their children.

Producer Quincy Jones wasn't too impressed with the demo of the song - he didn't care much for the bass. The song is mixed by Bruce Swedien, who usually did just one mix of a song - but he did 91 of Billie Jean, before the second mix was eventually chosen!

"Quincy said, 'okay, this song has to have the most incredible drum sound that anybody has ever done, but it also has to have one element that's different, and that's sonic personality'," said Swedien. "What I ended up doing was building a drum platform and designing some special little things, like a bass drum cover and a flat piece of wood that goes between the snare and hi-hat... the bottom line is that there aren't many pieces of music where you can hear the first three or four notes of the drums and immediately tell what the piece of music is. But I think that is the case with Billie Jean and that I attribute to sonic personality".

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie sceneI said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the oneWho will dance on the floor in the roundShe said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round

She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a sceneThen every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the oneWho will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me be careful of what you doAnd don't go around breaking young girls' heartsAnd mother always told me be careful of who you loveAnd be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

Billie Jean is not my loverShe's just a girl who claims that I am the oneBut the kid is not my sonShe says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

For forty days and for forty nightsThe law was on her sideBut who can stand when she's in demandHer schemes and plans'Cause we danced on the floor in the roundSo take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice(Do think twice)

She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at meThen showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no!)'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me be careful of what you doAnd don't go around breaking young girls' heartsShe came and stood right by meThen the smell of sweet perfumeThis happened much too soonShe called me to her room

Billie Jean is not my loverShe's just a girl who claims that I am the oneBut the kid is not my son

Billie Jean is not my loverShe's just a girl who claims that I am the oneBut the kid is not my sonShe says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my sonBillie Jean is not my loverShe's just a girl who claims that I am the oneBut the kid is not my sonShe says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my sonShe says I am the one
